Hey everyone,

I'm hoping someone might be able to shine some light on what is going on.

I applied for CBD back in January of this year and sent my application to the High Commissioner in London as I live in the UK. The IRCC apparently received my application on March 18th, but since then nothing.

I can track my application using my receipt number, but all it says is Application Received.

With the suspension of certain certificates issued and the current pause on processing new applications am I to assume that an AOR will be issued soon.

Thanks

Gav

Hey everyone,

​

I've always wondered what exactly do the Canadian Embassies or High Commissioners around the world do with applications, other than just forward them on to the IRCC?

​

With citizenship by descent applications do they cross check birth/ marriage certificates with local databases or BMDs and do they contact local authorities to verify documents before they send everything over to Canada or does the IRCC do everything?

​

I'm only asking this as what's the point in sending an application through an Embassy or High Commissioner if we could easily send it directly to the IRCC in NS?
